Abstract: A drill bit (10) is provided that is constructed and arranged to form a bore (22) in a bone (24) by cutting and moving bone fragments (26) to a wall (30) of the bore. The drill bit (10) includes an elongated shaft having a distal portion (12) and a proximal portion (14). The proximal portion (14) has a constant diameter. A cutting tip (16) is defined at the free end of the distal portion (12). A segment (18) of the distal portion (12) has transverse cross-sectional area less than that of the proximal portion (14). The distal portion segment (18) also includes a surface (21) to facilitate movement of the bone fragments (26) towards the proximal portion (14) of the shaft. When the drill bit (10) enters the bone (24) so as to form the bore (22) and is moved an amount such that the distal portion (12) is disposed completely within the bore (22), a space (28) is defined between the wall (30) of the bore and a periphery of the segment (18) of the distal portion (12) which receives the bone fragments (26). Further insertion of the drill bit (10) into the bone (21)causes the bone fragments (26) to move along the surface (21 of the distal portion segment (18) to the outer cylindrical surface of the proximal portion (14) which compacts the bone fragments (26) against the wall (30) of the bore.

Abstract: Solventless silicone resins are produced herein, which exhibit a high degree of reconstitution, in forms such as powders and flakes. The degree of reconstitution is judged by the fact that silicone resin/fluid alloys produced therefrom exhibit only a minor shift in T g , the glass transition temperatureo analagons alloys produced from solvent dispersed (virgin) resin. Resin, and preferably virgin resin, is dispersed in a volatile liquid dispersant and blended with a nonvolatile silicone fluid. Thereafter, the volatile liquid dispersant is removed by means such as spray-drying or evaporation, thereby resulting in the solventless resin forms of the invention.

Abstract: Radiation output directed toward at least one field of an object, such as a patient, is sensed, for example, during a session of radiation therapy. The accumulated dose delivered to the field is displayed and updated throughout the delivery of radiation. A prescribed dose profile may also be displayed simultaneously so the user can compare the accumulated dose with the prescribed dose profile over the irradiated field. Dose profiles -- both prescribed and accumulated -- are preferably stored in a memory unit. Profiles for several different fields at several different times may be stored and used to direct and monitor the course of radiation treatment.

Abstract: A reproduction device includes a disc type recording medium (22) having a first area (DT) for recording user data and a second area (TP), for recording a training pattern used in the calculation of an ideal amplitude value for determining the logic of a user pattern for the user data, reproduction of the training pattern being accomplished in advance of reproduction of the user data. A PR equalization circuit (23) is provided which equalizes the reproduction signal of the user data recorded in the first area (DT) of the disc type recording medium (22) on the basis of a partial response format. A clock generation circuit (25) produces a clock signal from the output signal of the PR equalization circuit (23). An A/D converter (24) samples the output signal of the PR equalization circuit (23) on the basis of the clock signal, and produces sample data. A decoding circuit (26, 76) decodes the sample data of the user data based on the ideal amplitude value, and produces reproduction data. An ideal value determination circuit (8) determines the ideal amplitude value from the sample data of the training pattern which is output from the A/D converter (24) in the output of a control signal, and which is applied to the decoding circuit (26,76).

Abstract: Method and apparatus for encoding digital information to be recorded on a magnetic medium is disclosed. The invention provides for receiving a sequence of (2 m n + d) user bits, mapping the sequence of user bits to 2 m  dc-free codewords, and recording the 2 m  dc-free codewords on a magnetic medium. A modulation coder, which includes a memory containing multiple non-intersecting subconstellations of dc-free codewords, performs the mapping in a non-equiprobable manner such that a particular codeword from a larger subconstellation is more likely to be used than a particular codeword from a smaller constellation. Less desirable codewords, such as those containing relatively long strings of bits having the same value, are assigned to the smaller subconstellations, thereby lessening the likelihood of loss of timing and gain parameters in the system, as well as maximizing the transmission rate and efficient use of the set of possible dc-free sequences of a given length.
